Football Players of the Week

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--Wide receiver Reggie Williams of Washington, linebacker Brandon Chillar of UCLA and kick returner Hakim Hill of Arizona State have been named Pac-10 Players of the Week in football.

Williams, a sophomore from Lakewood, Wash., had a big day in Washington's 34-10 win against San Jose State. Williams had six receptions for 160 yards (26.7-yard average) and two touchdowns of 21 and 89 yards. The 89-yard touchdown reception is the longest in Washington history. The Husky offense piled up 347 yards passing and 499 yards total offense.
